Just saw this on Bestiary’s Amazon page:
- #7 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Poetry > Epic
- #28 in Books > Literature & Fiction > Poetry > Epic
- #2 on the eBooks Poetry Hot New Release List. Right behind ‘Fall of Arthur’ by J.R.R. Tolkien.
- #3 on the Books Epic Poetry Hot New Release List. Right behind BOTH version of ‘Fall of Arthur’.
This is great for a debut, but it also makes me wonder how many copies have actually sold. According to my account, I’ve only sold 4. So, either the numbers haven’t appeared yet or these fields are not that competitive.
Legends of Windemere 
I haven’t bought my copy yet. i have a list of books I am purchasing tonight. I would also like to read Legends of Windermere. Thanks for the follow BTW. I thought I was already following you, probably because I see you so much on Ionia’s blog and The Community Story blog! Good Luck with this…you may have found a fruitful niche.

You’re welcome and hope you enjoy the books. I’ve done the same thing where I see someone comment so often and never realize that I’m not following them.

Seems like great listing to me, despite competitiveness. Really enjoying your Beginning of a Hero. My window for reading is small but I find myself getting back into the story easily. Good luck with your Bestiary of Blathertorn Vale sales.

I really should. I’ll probably use that in tomorrow’s tweet. I really wonder why I’m so high up there when I’ve only sold 4 copies. Something seems screwy with my account.

I think Ionia was correct in the comment that she made on her post that it’s a different market when it comes to poetry! I think you should definitely use it in a tweet…it’s the truth! 🙂

Oh my goodness, Charles! This is fantastic! Any updates?
I’m still reading the poems…I might be glad I read the poems before the book…

It’s slowly falling down the rankings. Poetry doesn’t sell the same as full fiction. I’m guessing that the reason I jumped up the ranks so quickly was because the competition is scarce. With only 5 eBooks sold, I was in the Top 10.
